False information on Facebook, and Huntington Bank
Even after a decade, Credit Score Myth 2 continues. That is because bankers are dumb. #falsity #OH #CreditScore #Myth2 #CreditScoreMyth2

Employers do not use credit bureau scores. In 2008, the three nationwide credit bureaus all stated that they do not provide those scores for employment purposes.
Mr. Zuckerberg, I found false information on your website.

This says, "Insurance companies, employers and landlords also look at this number." https://t.co/FaOUXIAAaM
Employers do not use credit scores.
What are you doing about this? #Myth2 #CA #falsity #MI #1802n #Facebook
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau states (with no substantiation, much trepidation and unconvincingly), "The nationwide credit reporting companies say they do not currently provide credit scores for employment purposes."
If you're wondering how a small website like the one at creditscoring.com can be more confident in its statement than the federal government, it is no great feat. You just have to be vigilant and demand answers.
Hello, Greg. Thanks for bringing this matter to our attention. I apologize for this issue. Are you able to provide us with your full name and phone number in a DM, please? I will have a team member call you to assist. Thank you!

Employers do not use credit scores.
However, a website you operate, indeed, falsely states: "Your credit score is a number between 300 and 850 that helps lenders determine the benefit or risk of loaning you money. Insurance companies, employers, and landlords may use this number to see how financially responsible you are." #Myth2
In contrast, another of your websites states: "Do employers use FICO Scores in hiring decisions? No. While Federal law allows review of credit reports for the purpose of employment screening, FICO Scores are not included with the reports."
What are you doing about that?
Actually, it is a number, indeed, from 300 to 850. The way you describe it, "between," indicates a scale of 301 to 849. Any schoolboy knows that. Last year, I talked to Randi Berris about the employers thing. She hung up on me. That was a bad move. #uncivilized
What is wrong? I am sick and tired of false information. Please reply today.
